Gayus the Taxman

Gayus Tambunan, the Taxman (picture: Left) has been detained by the Police for alleged Corruption and Bribery charges now being tried at the District Court of South Jakarta.

Gayus has been detained by the National Police at the headquarters of the Police' Mobile Brigade, but the news media reported recently that a man who looks like Gayus (picture: Right) appeared at an International Tennis Tournament in the island of Bali.

hope they're nipping the ikan BESAR, and not the ikan BILIS like it's always the case.

Sometimes, it's just afacade by the anti corruption people to show how "good" theyare at the job, when in factthe real fishes are lurking around the corner...possiblylaughing all the way to the bank.

I'm not only commenting on your country alone, but also my homeland, where politiciansare becoming more brazen everydaybecause they have connections with the anti corruption people. ( Ironically anti corruption people are also CORRUPT !) Samegoes to the judges...

Actually i admire the judiciary in Taiwan, where even the ex-president can be brought to justice for corruption. Nobody should be above the law...no matterhow popular is he with the public.

Sad that most ASEAN countries(with the exception of Singapore) tolerate "a bit" corruption

With this kind of attitude, theseselfish bozos will continue "raping the country" bare.

@Seiri,This very ugly thing is making so many people in Indonesia very sick.

@Big Bear's Wife,I like the way you say it. Yes, beside taking the small bad guys the should also get the big ones.It is very sad to know that most Asean countries seemingly tolerate corruption a bit like you said.Let us hope that the condition would improve, perhaps by having a joint effort to fight corruption.

@Colson,Although it is still not sure that the guy in Bali is Gayus, but there are reports that Gayus and other suspects have been enjoying privileges to leave jail by paying money, and 9 officers responsible for Gayus' detention have been arrested by the police.Of course in order to know for sure we will have to wait for the results of police investigations.
